Sensorless

Hi all, this is my first post here so please bear with me.
I am retrofitting a ballscrew and slide with a Kinetix 5500 system. The system will have one home sensor, should of been no issues.
The problem I have is that the home sensor was wired to a PLC input and not the input on the Kinetix drive and unfortunately the PLC and the drive are in separate areas.
I am wondering how I would go about homing the drive, I have come up with two options:
1. Issue a MAH and once the home sensor is triggered use an SSV to write to Axis1.DigitalInputs.1
2. MAJ to home sensor, MAS once home sensor is reached, MRP to set the home position
I have been combing through several of the motion/kinetix manuals to try and come up with a solution so any imput is greatly appreciated.
